I work in a public school. Many new teachers came this year. My contract does not say anything about dating coworkers.

I am not part of Epik or SMOE.

But a new teacher came two weeks ago and she is new to the city. She already offering me to go to her home town Pohong for weekends, drinking and so on.

I know in USA most companies hate peolpe dating coworkers.

Gossip will spread, but if you think it is worth it then it most probably is!!! Everywhere I have taught has been really good about encouranging co-worker relations and also about not asking questions the next day. Depends on your other co-workers and how much they like to gossip. I say go for it^^*

A guy I knew dated a girl at his work. It went sour, then he had to work with her for the rest of the year. He really had a bad year.

But that being said I knew many korean teachers to date other korean teachers. But they always kept it a secret and just acted as friends at work. But for some strange reason they told me. I guess they wanted to tell someone and figured who am I going to tell?

I think I may give it a try upon hearing what other people said. I only have her for three classes and she is the one inviting me out.

I will wish for the best and not expect the worst.

Whatever you do, don't tell anyone at the school! In fact, don't even tell any teacher anywhere ever. Delete this thread Smile

Seriously though, Koreans gossip like mad. Although you might not care if people know you are seeing her, she will. It would take a long time for her to feel comfortable knowing about you being togeth
